$20 libs are ubiquitous, and I'm sure we have quite a few experts here. What do you think about this one?

AU58 is my guess. Nice Type 2 Liberty double eagle.

I’ll go with 58 as well.

I’ll go 60 on this one. Type 2’s are always nice to have.

I;ll guess MS62. A lot of little tics but no major digs. Great photos, by the way!
58
luster is nice...also nice overall look....weakness in the hair would keep me from paying unc money, but looks like a nice 58. Would not be surprised if it graded up to 62 though
Very nice MS62 - don’t see any wear in this photo. No major distractions - nice coin!
I always seem to underestimate gold but I will stay with AU 58.

I will go with 62
I don't see the rubs, just the marks. Low MS, perhaps 60.

61.
Nice look ... I'm no expert, but it looks Unc, and nothing major (a lot of focal chatter though) so 61, maybe a shot at 62

Thanks for playing everyone. Here is the slab shot. The coin is MS61 w/CAC in a PCGS Old Green Holder.
As usual the pictures are good but show only a limited perspective. This coin has lots of luster and is absolutely MS. Very nice in hand / feels distinctly "original" to me. Nothing very distracting, no spots or smudge. I think it's an excellent 61!

Nice coin, I was in for 62, so a cac 61 feels right…ogh is an added benefit
I was going to post that it looks like an AU-58, because there is a slight rub, but the slab says MS-62. I was close except for the CAC.
These Type II $20 gold coins are very scarce in strict Unc.
Late to the game...but very nice gold coin.... I would have been close, but no cigar. That is OK, I don't smoke...
Cheers, RickO
Too late, but I was going to say 62.
Too late, but at first blush I was all in at 61.
